Should he give her a second chance ?
Will he ever find love again ?

A bride who got married on a beach in Cuba has dumped her new husband for a barman she met at the wedding.

Andrea McMillan, 34, says it was "love at first sight" when she clapped eyes on Jose Miguel, reports The Sun.

She ditched Carl Taylor, 30, after flying home to the UK from their £4,000 wedding, then flew back to Havana to be reunited with Jose weeks later.

The pair will marry next month near the four-star hotel in Holguin where Andrea and Carl tied the knot and where Jose worked behind the bar.

Andrea insists she was a reluctant bride and had severe doubts the night before she married Carl.

She said: "I cried myself to sleep. I had to down a few pina coladas to go through with it. I told Carl I didn't want to marry him but he said it was pre-wedding nerves.

"Our friends had saved to fly out with us so I felt I'd no choice but to do it."

Andrea, from Brighton, added: "The first time Jose and I met, it was like we had been hit by a thunderbolt. Carl is a lovely man yet there were never any fireworks. But Jose swept me off my feet."

Painter Carl, from Grantham, Lincs, desperately tried to persuade her to stick with him, but Andrea begged for a divorce.

Jose left his wife and now plans to join Andrea in the UK once his visa is sorted out.

Curious, how long He was married before. Did he meet his ex under similar terms, and now she's of no further use? Hmmmm

She wanted any excuse to leave her husband, he wanted the passport. It's a win-win situation :P

Now let me go down to the bar and find me a Fernando to marry lol.

oh britexpat! you never knew what i went through...in the name of love...

my point is she could have decided not to get married. and i personally dont believe setting off with someone due to love at first sight at a very short period...

The marriage is doomed. If she ditched so easy the first guy she has no chance of making it through the second.

I'm shocked and stunned. You a woman casting doubts on true love..

I know many cases of love at first sight on Spanish holidays with waiters and barman, so what's differet here?
